Seven years ago Anders Birch graduated his BA at DMJX with his story “Hometown” about Midland, Texas – the hometown of former US president George W. Bush.
Today, Anders Birch was back at DMJX to give the welcome lecture for all our photojournalist students.
At the lecture Anders Birch took the students through his development from a still photographer to a documentary filmmaker.
He talked about the differences and similarities between the two media and showed a lot of examples of his documentaries – for example his most popular film, “Denmark on the Prairie” originally made for and screened on Danish DR2.
Among other things Anders Birch also showed the self portrait movie, which he made as a part of his application for the New School in New York, where he has studied film documentary.
